I borrowed a trick from teaching days by putting my sheet of zone cleaning jobs in a page protector. Then I use an erasable marker to cross off the jobs. I can wipe it clean now, instead of needing to print off (and in the process, edit and fiddle and get distracted) a new sheet.
A recent job I did was cleaning the oven hood filters. They were caked with grease and fuzzy with dust. It's true! I gently popped them out with their little pull tabs. I laid them in a sinkfull of hot, soapy water. After a while I gently scrubbed them a bit - not too much because that would destroy the grease-catching web. I left them to dry for a while, and popped them back in. Much better!
I haven't done any zone cleaning this week - maybe because I'm not hosting any New Year's festivities? Pin It

I've just finished giving the bathroom a good 'do', while OH has taken all the pipework apart under the kitchen sink and has de-greased and scrubbed them.........we are having house guests over the New Year weekend and it's amazing how much more organized and calm I feel if the kitchen and bathroom are 'spick and span'.
Best wishes for the New Year Margo, and here's to getting back into those zone cleaning routines in 2012.

I'm not hosting this year either. And I feel positively giddy with the freedom.
Oh, the hood filters...they almost make me want to burn the house down and start over from scratch.
